La Liga Team of The Season 2009-10

With the penultimate round of games before the end of the La Liga season completed, these are the players who have made outstanding contributions to their teams cause and shone the most.

Not everybody will agree with the picks but several of this team will be considered certainties.

The season has been dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid and this team certainly reflects that. The 'Galacticos II' attempting to knock sextuple winners Barcelona from their throne has run to the final game of the season in a thrilling climax.

Real Madrid, currently in second place, a single point behind Barcelona, sit 27 points ahead of third-placed Valencia.

The team I have chosen will operate in a 4-1-3-2 formation. Honourable mentions and players close to making the team will also be named.

Despite being uncapped by Spain, Valdes has been selected in Vicente Del Bosque's provisional World Cup squad and will surely be given his chance to challenge Iker Casillas and Pepe Reina in South Africa.

Defensive Midfield - Ever Banega

In the modern game, almost every team utilises a holding midfield player, and this one is no different.

Banega has turned in a number of impressive performances this season and, after being shipped out on loan last season to Atletico Madrid, has become one of Valencia's most important players.

Banega sits in front of the back four, disrupting opposition attacks with tough tackling and determination. His distribution and creativity has also improved. Banega has contributed two goals and provided seven assists for Los Che.

Left Wing - Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Not much needs to be said about Cristiano Ronaldo. The sulking, flamboyance, and negative body language often remain, but so does the speed, power, skill, and flair that makes Ronaldo one of the world's best players.

Pressure was on Ronaldo to justify the €94 million that Real Madrid paid Manchester United for the Portugal star, but Ronaldo has made a seemingly easy transition from the Premier League to La Liga.

He has scored 25 goals in just 26 games and has not had a bad game for Los Blancos.
